The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 44:1-14

Jeremiah's First Warning v. 1. The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which dwell in the land of Egypt, where they had settled in spite of the earnest remonstrances of Jeremiah, which dwell at Migdol, on the northeastern boundary of Egypt, and at Tahpanhes, in the delta of the Nile, and at Noph, or Memphis, the capital of Lower Egypt, and in the country of Pathros, that is, Upper Egypt, for in the intervening years the Jews had selected different parts of Egypt for... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 44:1-30

The next prophecy in Egypt was of a fiery protest against the persistent rebellion of the people of God. The prophet reminded them of the patience of God, and of how His anger had already been poured out on Jerusalem, and declared that the rebellious remnant which had found its way into Egypt would be wholly cut off. This message was answered by a defiant and persistent declaration of rebellion, in which they misinterpreted their own history by declaring that all the evils that had befallen... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 44:1-30

SECTION 2 (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 continued). As we have previously seen this Section of Jeremiah from Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 divides up into four main subsections, which are as follows: 1. Commencing With A Speech In The Temple Jeremiah Warns Of The Anguish That Is Coming And Repudiates The Promises Of The False Prophets (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 29:32). 2. Following On After The Anguish To Come Promises Are Given Of Eventual Restoration, Central To Which is A New... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 44:2-14

1). YHWH’s Word Against His People Warning Of His Coming Judgment Because They Have Not Heeded What He Has Done Against Jerusalem. The Remnant Who Have Escaped To Egypt Will Be Destroyed (2-14). These words were seemingly delivered in the land of Pathros, where Jeremiah was apparently visiting the Jewish settlers (Jeremiah 44:15). Whether in fact it was a gathering of Jews from all over Egypt for a special festival we are not told, although it is quite possible, for his words have very much in... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 44:1-30

Jeremiah 44. Denunciation of the Jewish Worship of Ishtar in Egypt.— Jeremiah points to the desolation of Judah as the experienced consequence of idolatry, notwithstanding Yahweh’ s warnings ( Jeremiah 44:1-Joshua :). Why, then, do they repeat the offence, forgetting the past? Yahweh will destroy the remnant in Egypt, leaving fugitives only ( Jeremiah 44:7-2 Chronicles :). The assembled men and women refuse to abandon the worship of Ishtar (“ the queen of heaven” , Jeremiah 7:18 *), which... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 44:1-30

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology of the Chapter.—A considerable interval must be placed between this chapter and the two preceding, which record their arrival in Egypt; for we here find the fugitives coming together to Pathros from their different towns, so that we have to allow time for their dispersion through Egypt and settlement in widely separated cities there. Yet the address of Jeremiah assumes that he speaks to the people of the migration who have come into Egypt, and not to... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 44:1-30

Jeremiah 44:1 . Migdol was not far from the Red sea. Exodus 14:2. It was now a great city, being in several places put first by Jeremiah, situate only twelve hundred paces from Damiette. Pathros was the district surrounding Noph or Memphis; but Cairo is built not far from the ancient Memphis. See on Isaiah 19:11. Pathros is by others called Theboid, or the country surrounding Thebes. Jeremiah 44:13 . I will punish them that dwell in Egypt. The whole land of the Egyptians, and by... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 44:13

Jer 44:13 For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: Ver. 13. For I will punish them. ] Let them never think that they shall one day be settled again in their own country; they could easily come down into Egypt. “ Sed revocare gradum,” &c. “Hic labor,” &c. I will watch them for ever going back again; let them set their hearts at rest for that matter, it will never be. read more
